HAMILTON — A 34-year-old man who allegedly groped a College of New Jersey student while taking her to his township home under the pretext of a job interview was arrested yesterday, police said.

Sak Chow was charged with kidnapping, criminal restraint, and aggravated sexual contact and released on $50,000 bond late yesterday. Township police and Hamilton police were able to track Chow after the crime was reported to campus police.

“The college was very supportive. They obviously did what they were supposed to do in alerting the students,” Capt. James Stevens said.

The 19-year-old victim was abducted from the campus around 3 p.m. Wednesday, Stevens said.
“The student said apparently she had contacted an individual who delivers food to the college campus and complained about the service,” he said.

Over the phone, the person the victim spoke to allegedly promised to bring her food and made an offer of employment.

The victim met Chow on campus, got into his car, and drove to what he said was his other business. They pulled up at his house on the 200 block of Cypress Avenue and went inside, where police say he groped her around the chest. Chow then took her back to the college.

Campus police were called around 6 p.m., and began the search for Chow. With the victim unsure of where exactly the crime took place, Hamilton police were contacted at 8:20 p.m. They used their reports database, which included a domestic violence investigation Chow was involved in, to identify him as the suspect, police said.
